CHAPTER 40: MISSING YOU!

Already in his room, Alpha Maxwell finally grabbed his old phone, logged into his messenger and created a private chat with Naomi, wanting to explain his delay in establishing a connection with her.

He typed up a message...

Hello sweetie, this is yours truly, Alpha Maxwell. I’m sorry, I only contacted you today because my situation after arriving home was very chaotic. My brothers accused me of fabricating the whole kidnapping incident. They thought I did it out of mischief and whatever hidden motives I had which annoyed me so much.

His first message had already been sent. Not satisfied yet, he typed another message.

Then worse, after learning the truth that you are the daughter of our hated family, my parents thought the kidnapping was masterminded by your parents and all. Just you and baby Jacob could infiltrate our family and slowly steal from our businesses.

It’s very chaotic right now. The only person who believed in me was my grandmother. She stood by my side and supported me. She even suggested something outrageous to me to settle my problem with Deborah and you, so that both parties would benefit and end my suffering. But I don’t think you will agree with it.

Um, I need to tell you something about Deborah... I got her pregnant before I was kidnapped. I didn’t know about it. She only knew she was pregnant with my child one week after my disappearance. I don’t know if I should be happy about it. But yeah, I’m a father, and I’m excited to meet my son with her.

I’m sorry for telling you this. I know you will feel hurt that I got her pregnant, but you have to understand that it happened before I met you. But I still feel guilty about the whole thing.

Things are shitty for me right now.

My problems are multiplying and the available solution is not pleasant for both of us. And I’m also grounded, which means I can’t leave the house alone. My parents have prohibited me from seeing you again. I feel so bad about it when all I want is to see you and my baby Jacob. Yeah, I miss you guys. I terribly miss you.

The life we had in the windowless room was much more peaceful and predictable compared to the chaotic life we are facing now. In the facility, we don’t worry about what other people say about our love affair, because we have each other. Things are simple there. We don’t encounter so much drama. Everyone is supportive of us. That is the kind of environment we want to have for our little family in the future.

Although I’m free now, no longer in captivity, I’m facing never ending chaos.

I don’t know when I can see you and our son again. I hope he is doing well and the people in the facility are taking care of him on behalf of us.

Um, yeah, I’m sorry, I sent you a lot of messages today. How are you? How are things unfolding at your end? Have you told your family the truth about us, about my identity? If they know they will prohibit you from seeing me again, right?

How about your boyfriend? How is he? Did he already know you were back?

Please tell me about him. Please tell me about what’s happening in your life right now. We need to get in touch with each other and communicate constantly so we can get our son back.

Sweetie, if you have read my message right now, please reply right away. I’m dying to hear from you. I miss you so much. I love you and baby Jacob always.

Has Zero contacted you already and created the group chat? Did he already send you a photo or video of our son? Please let me know.

Bye bye for now, sweetie. My fingers hurt after writing so many messages for you. I just need to rest a bit then afterwards, I will take a long shower to calm my nerves.

I love you so much. It hurts that I can’t hold you and kiss you right now. I’m looking forward to seeing you again one of these days. We should see each other again soon.

Please don’t give up on me! Don’t give up on us. Don’t give up on baby Jacob. We have to get him back no matter what. He is our son. We have to be strong for him.

We have to fight for our love because the moment we give up, we will never see our son again.

Baby Jacob is worth fighting for! Always remember that.

I love you. Take care of yourself always!

Alpha Maxwell had finished typing all the messages. It was such a tiring experience. He never typed that many words before. But he was glad he expressed it all in words, uninterrupted.

Naomi could read his messages repeatedly and be reminded of their sweet love story which started in the windowless room. He hoped she could feel the sincerity of his feelings and intention towards her and never doubt him.

A heavy sigh escapes from his lips.

He went to bed and lay down, and closed his eyes so his weary mind could rest.

A few minutes later, he drifted into a deep slumber.

Meanwhile...

At the Greene family’s mansion, Naomi can be seen in her room, lying down on her bed, teary eyes while reading Alpha Maxwell’s long message. Her heart aches painfully for him. He opened his heart to her, expressing his fears and worries about their difficult situation.

She burst into tears after learning the painful and awful truth that Deborah, Alpha Maxwell’s fiancee, was pregnant and delivered a healthy son while they were imprisoned in the facility.

Now, it’s clear as daylight that it will be hard for him to get out of his problematic situation. Their dream of reuniting, getting married and creating a beautiful family together is in limbo.

She felt sad and depressed by the latest development in their lives. She had a feeling that this time, Alpha Maxwell would have no choice but to marry his fiancee because of their son.

Her father forbade her from establishing contact with Alpha Maxwell. He wanted her to completely forget him and her son baby Jacob.

Her father is so cruel! But she can’t blame him though, their families have always been enemies of each other.

She releases a deep sigh. Tomorrow her boyfriend will come to visit her. He is currently on a business trip to another city.

Now that she and Alpha Maxwell were already connected to each other in messenger, she could send messages to him anytime and anywhere. It brightened her gloomy mood.

Her eyes twinkled happily when Alpha Maxwell sent her another message. She smiled brightly.

Alpha Maxwell: Hey sweetie, are you there? Are you online now?

Naomi: Yes, I’m here. What’s up on your end?

Alpha Maxwell: If you read my long message, you already have an image of how chaotic my life has been lately. Day 2 at home was already crazy. My parents and brothers gang up on me. I’m grateful for my Grandma. She stood by my side, the only one who never crucified me.

Naomi: You are lucky to have a very understanding grandma.

Alpha Maxwell: Yeah, I am lucky indeed. So how are you? Did you tell your family about my true identity?

Naomi: No, not yet. But they already told me to forget you and our son. I cried a lot because my father had no idea how painful it is to be separated from our son.

Alpha Maxwell: Oh, that’s so sad, sweetie. My parents also told me the same after I told them about your identity. Our parents try hard to tear us apart from each other. They want us to move on with our lives and forget about each other. But I can’t do that. I can’t forget you and baby Jacob.

Naomi: Me too, I can’t forget you. I can’t forget our son. I can’t forget the sweet memories we shared together in the windowless room. They are too special to be forgotten.

Alpha Maxwell: Yes, our memories there are very memorable and unforgettable. You and baby Jacob will always be one of the best things that have ever happened to me. We need to be strong for each other, sweetie. I’m so sorry that you have to go through so much pain right now.

Naomi: We are destined to meet and fall in love with each other. But now we are suffering, our hearts are bleeding. I wonder if we can still see our son again? I miss him so much. I miss breastfeeding him and bathing him. I miss his adorable smile and his loud cry. I’m very sad right now. I want to go back to the facility and stay in the windowless room to be with our son. I’m not happy living outside anymore. I miss our lives in the windowless room. I’m crying right now.

Alpha Maxwell: Oh, sweetie, please don’t cry. I feel sad if you cry.

Naomi: I just can’t help it. I’m feeling so down right now.

Alpha Maxwell: Sweetie, how I wish I could hold you in my arms right now. Please don’t cry anymore.

Suddenly a friend request notification coming from Zero appeared on the screen of the couple’s phone at the same time.

The couple quickly accepted Zero’s friend request, and they are excited to hear anything about their son baby Jacob.
